We decided to choose a british institution, not a hollywood institution because we can create a good film with a lower budget and we are also based in the UK.
I first looked at shallow grave produced in 1994 and directed by Danny Boyle. It follows the genre we want to do which is thriller. It was produced by Channel 4 and produced by PolyGram Filmed Entertainment. We considered this as a institution we could have used.
Dead Man's Shoes was another British released film we looked at, its production took place in 2004 and directed by Shane Meadows, it follows the same genre we want to follow thriller. It was produced by British company called Warp films, and also distributed by a British Optimum Releasing. This is a company we could use.
The final movie I looked at was sexy beast the basic background of this movie is that a retired gangster hire's a safe cracker for one final job. It was produced in 2000 and directed by Jonathan Glazer (Debut Film). It was produced by Jeremy Thomas and distributed by Fox searchlight pictures. I don't think we will use this as it is an american distributor.
Don't dismiss a US distributor - they can sometimes allow your film to get into US cinemas and make more money this way... Maybe add a comment about which institution you would go with out of these three and why...
